Not racism...

It's just typical bullshit where great series are ignored in favor for more well known but shitty series.

So black success in sports is the result of a Marxist conspiracy?

(rolls eyes)

We are almost at the day when people can just be honest and admit to themselves and others that not every group of human beings, identifiable relative to other groups via common-language social groupings, performs exactly as well on average on every conceivable test of merit. The theology of equality is just too burdensome to maintain without preposterous epicyclic explanation; eventually people will just give up trying to pretend the sun revolves around the earth.

The battle has already been lost, spectacularly, in the field of athletics, but our indoctrinated press still ... just ... can't ... seem ... to admit ... it. Primarily due to leftist influence, but also, as this article shows, on the right.

There are white RB and in the NFL too. There arent any white HB in the NFL right now but that might change in a few years when Sam McGuffie graduates from Michigan.

It's time to bring the marlo av back@!!!

BTW american gangster will be the hottest movie of 07. Denzel is the man and was the best villian of all time in training day. Plus the trailer uses one of the only 5 hot jay-z songs since reasonable doubt.

There are plenty of dumbasses and intellectuals from every ancestry, but distinct differences in the physical characteristics of different races.

interesting how complex and difficult it is to compare white and black intelligence, yet how easy it is for you to make a broad statement about black superiority at athletics. i guess there is only one type of athleticism

I wonder if this cultural difference has partly led vick to the shitty position that he finds himself in.

I've observed sports all my life. I've observed that, IN GENERAL, blacks perform better than whites. They are more athletically gifted- IN GENERAL. Sure there are exceptions, such as swimming, MMA (that gap is closing fast), rock climbing, adventure racing, blah blah blah.

Intlligence could be described in many different ways. For example, my IQ is exceptionally high, but I lack mechanical skill and common sense. I am also a very slow reader and I have limited social skills. But I got the big score on the SAT- I scored perfect on military testing- I was labeled as '12th grade' level in 3rd grade in every subject. But none of that bullshit has helped me in the real world. But wait, I'm smart right? The cream of the crop right? Nope. I struggle like crazy at new jobs. I put my foot in my mouth constantly.

I have met droves of poor uneducated people that I consider to be much smarter than me.

On the other hand, how is it that so many black kids never do any kind of regular excercise, yet they are ripped with dense muscles? How come they have more muscle fibers? Well, they are different.

OK I'm done with this PC nonsense, and I'm going back to the real world where IQ doesn't mean shit.

It would be interesting to compare sports that blacks dominate and whites dominate.

It seems as though blacks do not dominate the boxing scene like before. I also read this article hope it has not already been posted.

I agree that black Americans at least do seem to be particularly gifted athletically, just as certain other ethnic groups have other gifts. If income/degrees attained/awards won in intellectual fields/success are measures of intelligence (and they are fairly good indicators) then I am glad to be Jewish.
